Fayetteville State Beats Down Saint Paul |
|
Fayetteville State coach Kenny Phillips never wavered on Bryan Hardy as his starting quarterback, and the play caller rewarded his faith. Hardy shook off the rust of three games on the sidelines with a groin injury late in the first quarter against Saint Paul’s. Once he found his rhythm, the senior quarterback threw for all four touchdowns in a 28-0 victory Saturday night at Nick Jeralds Stadium. If there was any lingering pressure from backup Ben Williams leading FSU to the best offense in the CIAA after three games, Hardy didn’t acknowledge it. The starter since preseason camp, he gave way to Williams after only 12 pass attempts in the opener because of a groin injury suffered during practice. Hardy watched his backup throw for 526 yards in three games — two against Division I-FCS opponents. This got him fired up to continue the success in the conference opener, and he finished 15 of 27 for 249 yards — the team’s highest passing total this season. St. Paul Beat Down Continue Reading |

Alumni Donations Make More Scholarships Available |
|
More scholarship opportunities exist for students at Johnson C. Smith University thanks to the generosity of alumni donors. • Dr. Mary Wallace Reid of Pennsylvania, a 1945 graduate of JCSU, established an endowed scholarship in honor of her parents, Isaac and Mamie Wallace. Female graduates of Charlotte-Mecklenburg or Charlotte area high schools with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 are eligible for the Isaac & Mamie Wallace Endowed Scholarship. • The Dr. Thomas Wright Jr. Endowed Scholarship Fund is designed for a JCSU student with a 3.0 GPA who is majoring in one of the sciences, with preference given to a student athlete. A dentist in Richmond, Va., Wright graduated from JCSU in 1962. • Former NFL player Pettis Norman honored one of the most influential people in his life, JCSU football coach Eddie C. McGirt, by contributing $50,000 to a previously established endowed scholarship. The Eddie C. McGirt Endowed Scholarship is awarded to a sophomore, junior, or student athlete with at least a 3.0 GPA. McGirt graduated from JCSU in 1947, returning in 1958 where he eventually became the head football coach at JCSU. For 20 years, his teams ranked at the top of the CIAA standings, winning 118 of 191 games. Norman, who played for the Dallas Cowboys and then for the San Diego Chargers, was the second of McGirt’s JCSU players to play professionally. Endowed scholarships provide a permanent source of financial aid. You, too, can make a difference in the life of a JCSU student. A minimum contribution of $25,000, payable within a five-year period, will create an endowed scholarship. |

New JCSU President Reorganizes Academic Division |
|
Johnson C. Smith University President Ronald Carter, Ph.D., announced today a major reorganization of the university’s academic division, decentralizing its structure with a Council of Deans. Formerly the Office for Academic Affairs, the unit was headed by a vice president and associate vice president, to whom deans and faculty department chairs reported. The new decentralized organizational structure eliminates those two positions and replaces them with a six-member Council of Deans. The new administrative unit will govern through consensus and be an advisory committee to the president. “The reorganization will greatly benefit the university by encouraging collaboration and providing improved transparency, increased autonomy and responsibility,” Dr. Carter said. “It will allow faculty to have better participation and make for a more vibrant faculty senate, of which I am a strong proponent.” |
